THE JURY DISAGREED
A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided
An old time story of the line points
of law and equity which arose in car
ryiug out an amicable contract is told
in the Philadelphia Record There
were four brothers who had inherited
a storage warehouse from their father
He had divided the property equally
among them
Among the appurtenances was a cat
a tine animal excellent for mousing
This too was divided the eldest
brother owning the right frout quar
tor the second brother the left front
quarter and the younger brothers the
two hind quarters
Now unfortunately the cat in one
of its nocturnal prowls injured the
right front paw and the eldest
brother attended to that portion of his
property by binding the injured mem
her with a greased rag
The cat thankful for this relief to
its sufferings went to sleep content
edly before the Qre but in the midst
of its slumbers a falling coal ignited
the rag and the animal howling with
agony dashed through the warehouse
and coming in contact with some com
bustibles set the building on Qre
When the loss came to be tigured
out the three younger brothers wished
to throw it all upon the eldest on the
ground that had he not tied up his
part of the cat with the inflammable
rag the building would not have been
destroyed
He on the contrary contended that
had the cat only been possessed of the
front right paw his property it
would have stood still and burned to
death It was the three other paws
that caused the damage
The brothers argued the case until
they died but they never reached an
agreement

THE SETTING SUN
en Vulcan Sailed It
tl Cb
When Round the
Ocean So It Could Rise Again
The ancients had some queer theories
whereby they sought to explain the
rising and setting ot the sun They
thought the earth to be flat and were
greatly puzzled to know how the same
sun which plunged into the ocean at
a fabulous distance in the west could
reappear the next morning at an equal
ly great distance in the east A num
ber of remarkable theories were ad
vanced and every one of them was
wrong
Mycologists of old asserted that
after the sun had dipped iu the west
ern ocean at sunset the Iberians aud
other ancient nations actually imagined
that they could hear the hissing of the
waters when the glowing globe was
plunged therein he was seized by Vul
can and placed in a golden goblet
This strange craft with its astonishing
cargo navigated the ocean by a north
erly course so as to reach the east
again in time for sunrise the follow
ing morning
Among the more sober physicists of
old as related by Aristotle it was be
lieved that in some manner the sun
was conveyed by night across the
northern regions and that darkness
was due to mountains which screened
off the sunbeams during the voyage

DIDNT KNOW HIM
He Was Not In the Colored Porters
Hall of Fame
A southerner uoted for the liberality
of his tips stopped at a Baltimore ho
tel where negro porters predominated
His name was bpeedily known to every
member of the serving fraternity and
his every wish anticipated Soon after
his arrival he sent his card to a friend
who made his home in the hotel but
whose temperament happened to be
quite the opposite of that of his open
handed caller retiring not given to
tipping or any other form of socia
bility and who therefore lived almost
unknown to those about him
The old darky who received the card
studied it for a full minute
Scuse me colonel he said but
dont bleebe nobody by dat name conw
here dis uiawning
This morning returned the other
Of course not Mr Blank has lived
here for mouths iou know my mum
well enough aud I havent been here a
day Do you mean to say you cant re
member a man who has made his home
here since some time last winter
Scuse me colonel sah began the
old man deferentially but you must
know sah as if uttering the subtlest
compliment dat deres gemmans what
can make demsels more uotorious in
one day sah dan odder gemmans does
